Why We Need To Block Ads From Internet?

The Internet is a vast space of infinite knowledge. We can store and access those knowledge, those data from everywhere and from any device. We just need to use correct words or phrases to find them. But often what we get is not exactly Safe to See, it's not annoyance-free.

Setup Windows Subsystem 2 for Linux

Windows Subsystem 2 for Linux, Hyper, ZSH + Oh My Zsh + Powerlevel9k + plugins, FNM + VSCode (+ext) and Nerd Font

To setup native Linux, see this gist

Requirements

Activate wsl2

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart
wsl --set-default-version 2

Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

1. Create a `conf` file with information about the cert you'll be creating

It should look something like the content below; call it my-site.conf or something like that.
